What if Napoleon didn't attack Russia in 1812?

A question we have all asked? What if Napoleon's ego gave out for a second and he decided to not invade Russia and starve his grand army. Well here it is was France destined for greatness or was it bound to lose.

There's lot of stuff that would have saved Napoleon's a**, such as not attacking Spain or accepting the Franfurt proposals when it was offered (because it was over for him and France at this point).

Great video! I love what @jiricz and @acelabsinc did!

Great video! However, i just want to add, for the anglo-american war of 1812, Napoléon had very little interest in a colonial empire, as for example he had demanded the return of Lousiana from the current spanish control, back to french control, but quickly after doing so had decided to change his mind and sell it to the United States instead, if he truly wanted a colonial empire the Americas like in Quebec, i would expect he would have kept Louisiana, so realistically i would say that Napoléon wouldnt take quebec, and the United States would probably seize more of Canada, but to be honest that depends on Napoléon being consistant with what he wants, which i doubt, so other than that minor note, pretty good video!

Italian revolution was about two things: Having one state and liberal government. I am not sure what they were missing under Napoleon?

[PvpSniper]

yes also if napoleon invaded saint peterburg he would have won

Well done! If Napoleon doesn't attack Russia imo it doesn't change the fact that he can't find a diplomatic compromise with the other great powers... And without that his regime will find it very difficult to prosper. Thanks for this great video!

[Anydeeznuts]

Napoleon would have the army to defend himself

[notlucas]

france shoulda just waited for the ticking warscore smh

[ToonStory-fhgn]

Damned, looks like we lost again 😑Great video, really enjoyed it! Pretty sure in this case France's neighbour would still have a Bourbon king back on the French throne. Thanks!

He dies and his successors can't maintain the empire

What happened to the OG alternate history guild channel?

It was not Patriarchy. It was Feudal society with Monarchy.

I agree with the person who made this scenario, but I only have one question, wouldn't it make sense that the Ottoman Empire colapses? I mean, the Ottoman Empire was pretty much a spicy boiling soup of an empire and it could have easily colapsed with Greeks, Albanians, Bulgarians and even Arabs rebeling against them. With all the nationalistic and liberal policies that Napoleon has spread throughout Europe, I think this might be pretty realistic.

The title isnt quite right. It is hypothetical. It should be "What if Napoleon HADNT attacked Russia".

[isaiaholson]

Wow, Napoleon's France must have given a heck of a fight if the War between LITERALLY EVERYONE vs France would be called "The Great War."

btw, Awesome video.

1:35 - Britain rules the European waves after Trafalgar. How on earth are the French suppose to ship men over to America in this scenario?

No mention of the Continental System, and it's economic effects. You can't defeat the British unless you take India(their Cash Cow at the time), and le Grande Armee is NOT marching to Bombay.
